Diao Chan still refused to get up, Liu Wei had to step forward, stretched out his hands in front of her, but did not touch her, and said to her: "Princess, get up quickly, you and this king are your own family, how can you look like this?" ”

"Your Highness!" Kneeling on the ground, Diao Chan raised her face and looked at Liu Wei, and said with tears in her eyes: "The concubine intended to murder His Royal Highness for her own selfishness that day, but His Royal Highness ignored the past suspicions and saved the concubine and Wen Hou, great kindness, Diao Chan will be remembered forever!" ”

As he spoke, Diao Chan bent down and bowed to Liu Wei.

Glancing at Wang Liu and Wang Zhen behind him, Liu Wei took half a step back.

Seeing his eyes, Wang Liu and Wang Zhen hurriedly stepped forward and helped Diao Chan up with one left and one right.

After getting up, Diao Chan first blessed Liu Wei, then turned around and beckoned to the back.

A handmaiden who had come with Diao Chan came over with a tray in her hands, and when she reached Diao Chan, the maid held the tray high above her head.

Inside the tray was a large red silk horse.

The silk fabric is delicate and reflects a faint sheen in the sun.

Just from the fabric, Liu Wei can see that it is a commodity silk produced in the south of the Yangtze River.

"What do you mean, princess?" Looking at the silk in the tray, Liu Wei frowned slightly, and asked Diao Chan.

"Although His Royal Highness is the King of Qin, his life is hard." Looking at Liu Wei, Diao Chan said softly: "The concubine was in Xuzhou that day, and she also saw such good silk. These days, His Royal Highness led the army to the south, and the concubine also went to Jiangnan to buy this cloth. Princess Tang is good at dancing, and using this to make palace costumes will add a little more style. ”

After listening to Diao Chan's words, Liu Wei understood.

In order to ease the relationship with the princesses, Diao Chan thought that he had purchased a lot of things recently, but he had never had the opportunity to give them to the princesses.

Now waiting here, it is not that it is difficult to enter the inner garden, but that he is deliberately waiting for Liu Wei, hoping that through him, he can ease the relationship with the princesses.

Diao Chan has such a mind, and Liu Wei naturally will not disobey her.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Liu Wei said to Diao Chan: "It's a matter of bothering the princess, so this king will accompany you to Tang Ji's place." ”

thanked Liu Bian, and Diao Chan walked into the back garden one after the other in front of Liu Bian.

She did not walk side by side with Liu Wei as she did in the past when she was not rebellious against Liu Wei, and always kept a half-step distance from Liu Wei when she walked.

Liu Wei didn't greet her either.

He knows very well in his heart that today's Diao Chan is no longer the woman who had affection for him in the past.

The reason why Diao Chan came to the palace to look for him was just to be grateful, and the love for him in the past has now all been transferred to Lu Bu's body.

Thinking about this, Liu Wei was also calm in his heart.

Since the killing of Dong Zhuo, he has always felt guilty about Diao Chan, thinking that it is a dishonorable means to use Diao Chan to make Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu turn against each other.

But back then, this method was also a last resort.

At that time, Liu Wei did not have such a strong military force as now, Dong Zhuo occupied the imperial court and had a powerful Xiliang army.

The princes of the world will be in a prison with the tiger, and they still can't help Dong Zhuo, not to mention that he was just a little Hongnong King who didn't have many soldiers and horses in his hands at that time.

At the risk of opposing Cao Cao, he sent the Dragoon Guard and the Tiger Benwei into Xuzhou to rescue Lu Bu and Diao Chan.

Diao Chan, who was rescued by him, now has no love for him, and pins all his feelings on Lu Bu, who is sincere to her.

But if there is no love, there will be no hatred, and Liu Wei no longer has to worry that Diao Chan will suddenly attack him secretly again in the future.

Accompanied by Wang Liu and Wang Zhen, Liu Wei led Diao Chan into the back garden and walked all the way towards Tang Ji's bedroom.

"Princess!" After walking along the long back garden road for a while, Liu Wei glanced back at Diao Chan and asked her, "Feng Xian returned to Luoyang, did you mention the Huainan War to the princess?" ”

"Your Highness wants to ask, Wen Hou has become a soldier and a horse, can he settle down?" Smiling slightly, Diao Chan said to Liu Wei: "His Royal Highness ordered someone to rescue the concubine and Wen Hou from Xuzhou, that is, he has a little understanding of Wen Hou, if Wen Hou is really a slave with three surnames, His Royal Highness will never rescue him." ”

was poked by Diao Chan's words to reveal the question he really wanted to ask, but Liu Wei said with no embarrassment: "The princess has misunderstood, although this king wants to know that Lu Dao Fengxian is satisfied with this soldier and horse Da Yuan Rong, but he wants to know what he thinks about the battle of Huainan." ”

"Wen Hou doesn't have any opinions!" With a smile on his face, Diao Chan said to Liu Wei: "The world is so big, the only one who can convince Wen Hou is His Royal Highness." His Royal Highness decided, and Wen Hou should come forward! ”

Knowing that he couldn't ask anything from Diao Chan, Liu Wei didn't ask any more, just nodded with a smile on his face, and continued to walk forward.

Following behind Liu Bian, Diao Chan didn't say anything more.

Along the way, she kept her head down, and her expression showed a little apprehension and uneasiness.

At the beginning, he instigated Lu Bu to betray Liu Wei and made a fuss in Luoyang City, and several of Liu Wei's concubines are now very unkind to her.

Don't say that Tang Ji and others, even Cai Yan, who had a very good relationship with her in the past, don't want to see her now.

Although Liu Wei led her to Tang Ji's bedroom, Diao Chan was still not very secure in her heart, and she was afraid that although Tang Ji would not let her enter the door if Liu Wei was present, she would deliberately snub and alienate her.

If that's the case, it doesn't make much sense to come to the palace.

Liu Wei, who led Diao Chan to Tang Ji's bedroom, had another idea in his heart at this time.

The princesses have a grudge against Diao Chan, which is an inevitable thing.

Diao Chan chose Tang Ji to visit first, and he also had careful consideration.

In Liu Wei's harem, Tang Ji is his original wife, and the entire harem is taken care of by Tang Ji.

Dredging the relationship between Tang Ji and other princesses will make it much easier to ease the relationship.

Moreover, Diao Chan came to the palace and did not go directly to visit Tang Ji, but waited for Liu Bian, pretending to meet Liu Bian, and he came forward to mediate.

In this way, not only did she avoid the embarrassment of being rejected by Tang Ji, but also had Liu Wei, the main relation, say a few good words for her, even if Tang Ji wanted to show Diao Chan's face, she couldn't find a reason.

Thinking of these, Liu Wei not only admired Diao Chan's political skills.

If Lu Bu can cooperate with Diao Chan, with his martial arts and Diao Chan's skill, he will definitely become one of the most powerful figures in the court in the future.

Liu Wei already knew Diao Chan's calculations, but he was still willing to make this paving stone for Diao Chan.

If this matter is done well, his image in Diao Chan's mind will be even more glorious than saving her and Lu Bu from Xuzhou.

Even if Lu Bu is difficult to control in the future, with Diao Chan in the middle, it is impossible for him to do anything arrogant.

Walking along the bluestone road for about a stick of incense, Liu Wei saw Tang Ji's bedroom from a distance, and then turned his head to look at Diao Chan who followed him.

Getting closer and closer to Tang Ji's bedroom, Diao Chan's face is getting more and more ugly.

Although she is a very skillful woman, it still makes her feel very uncomfortable to visit someone who is extremely tired of her.

"Princess, a little nervous?" Seeing that Diao Chan's face was a little bad, Liu Wei asked her with a smile.

"Hmm!" Responding without hesitation, Diao Chan said to Liu Wei: "The princesses must still be holding grudges about the past, if they are ......"

"Don't worry!" Without waiting for Diao Chan to finish speaking, Liu Wei said to her: "Several princesses are sensible people, especially Tang Ji, who was also influenced by royal etiquette in her early years, so she will not embarrass the princess. ”

When Liu Wei said this, Diao Chan was a little relieved, and his face looked better than just now.

Tang Ji's bedroom is not far from the big lake in the back garden, and the sable chan is walking along the bluestone road, and Wang Zhen, who is following the two, suddenly shouted: "Your Highness, look, what is that?" ”

Hearing Wang Zhen's shout, Liu Wei hurriedly turned his head and looked at the lake.

The sparkling surface of the lake reflects a dazzling light in the sun.

There was only a ripple on the surface of the lake, and there was nothing unusual at all.

"What?" Seeing nothing, Liu Wei asked Wang Zhen: "What does General Wang want this king to see?" ”

"It's just a big black shadow." Wang Zhen's brows were tightly twisted, and he said with a puzzled expression: "When Your Highness looked at it, the black shadow was gone......

"Are you waiting to see it?" Wang Zhen said that she saw a big black shadow on the lake just now, and Liu Wei immediately remembered the underwater giant beast he and Guan Qing met on the lake when they were boating, and hurriedly asked the others.

Since meeting Guan Qing and seeing the giant beast underwater, Liu Wei has never gone to the lake to go boating.

At first, he saw with his own eyes that it was a very large water beast, and although he did not know whether it was a fish or something else, he knew that if he did not drain the lake and encounter that thing in the water, he would not be a match for that thing at all by human ability.

The underwater giant beast that had been silent for a long time reappeared, and Liu Wei suddenly felt an ominous feeling in his heart.

Although he didn't believe what Yu Ji said about numerology and signs, in the letter Yu Ji wrote to him at the beginning, he clearly mentioned the appearance of a giant beast in the water.

Yu Ji, who had not seen the water beast, could know these things, which made Liu Wei inevitably wonder if he could see anything.

The last time a water beast appeared, it didn't take long for Liu Wei to meet a big event.

What does the appearance of the water beast mean this time?

Stopping, Liu Wei turned his head to look at the lake that had calmed down, and his brows tightened.

He had a feeling that it might not be long before he faced a new challenge.

"Your Highness!" Liu Wei stopped and looked at the lake, Diao Chan waited for a while, and then reminded in a low voice: "I should go to Princess Tang." ”
